The Worshipful Company of Weavers

The Worshipful Company of Weavers is one of London's historic livery companies, founded in the 16th century to promote and regulate the wool and cloth weaving trades. Today, it functions as a charitable organization supporting education, craft industries, and community initiatives, while preserving the tradition and history of weaving. Though its original trade has largely declined, the company continues to uphold its cultural heritage and contributes to public life through grants, scholarships, and events, maintaining a link between London's craft history and modern society.
